Cold War- Red Scare - Description:
- In Yiddish, 3 pages. HLetter from Ben Zion Goldberg. Date stamped as received June 28. Translated Summary: Begins: "Had a fine journey and a very warm, enthusiastic crowd..." Suggests that when he (Rubin Saltzman) comes, he stop in Rio de Janeiro and in Montevideo on his way, to give talks, etc. "Here" there is a bitter war among the left-wing Zionist elements, and Saltzman could help solve certain local problems. Goldberg has spoken to people in Brazil who are also eager to host him when he comes. Discusses the changed situation since Weinper's visit. The Brazilian currency, while officially the same, has sharply devalued, and this will make fundraising much more difficult.
- Notes:
- The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
